‘Silkscreened Polymer Jewellery’ Workshop (Weekday)
$110.00
Come and have some fun creating polymer clay jewellery!
Silkscreens are a great way to pattern the surface of polymer clay and you can create some fabulous effects with them.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to ;
– Condition and prepare polymer clay
– Texture polymer clay;
– Use and clean silkscreens;
– Prepare polymer clay for baking (so there’s less work sanding afterwards!)

Why Do a Workshop with Us?
Here’s what makes us different from other creative spaces.
- All our Tutors are experienced in teaching and have many years of experience working with their respective mediums/in their field of expertise – for most of our tutors this is over 15 years experience.
- Our workshop sizes are small with usually no more than 12 students.
- We provide a friendly, inviting space and cater for many challenges you may face (health issues, food intolerances, anxiety, etc.). Many of our students (and some of our tutors) suffer from chronic illness and have special needs. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Dani who will do her best to help you out;
- We use only high quality materials/products in our workshops and myself and our Tutors are familiar with how these work and can give you accurate information/answers to your questions;
- Students are able to browse our 1500+ products and purchase if they wish to either before, during or after their workshop;
- We offer payment plan options on most workshops as we understand that finances can be tight (please email if you’d like to take advantage of this);
- We are fully insured and there is always someone on site who has a Level 2 first aid qualification and asthma management training. All tutors who are working with children have current, valid Working with Children Checks.
- We offer ‘after workshop’ support for all our students. Students can ask questions of our tutors and refresh any information they need to after the workshop via email, phone or in our Facebook group especially for students.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to seeing you at the Studio very soon!
